Entering the job market

Some general considerations:

Humanities degrees (e.g., English, History, Philosophy, Religious Studies) are not primarily vocational training and so they do not launch one on an obvious, immediate career path. They sometimes require additional advanced degrees or combination with professional training. However, they are excellent programs for developing the intellectual foundation and scholarly skills for success in many life endeavors.

Know your strengths. In addition to knowledge about religion, Religious Studies students develop certain skills and understandings that are translatable to many contexts.
